Thanks for joining me on my crafty journey. I'm now retired which gives me the chance to spend a lot more time indulging myself in my crafty habit!!!
I'm part of four Design Teams and absolutely love the work I do with them.
It's very exciting to get your work shown on TV and I never cease to get excited when a show is coming up. It's lovely to see what the team have produced.
I appreciate all my followers on my blog and thank you all so much for following my journey.

Today's post is a short one as we have family staying for the weekend, 14 in total!! That's a lot of mouths to feed, but it's been fun up to now.

My make is using a PanPastel background with a Sweet Poppy Stencil and glossy texture paste. Before the paste dried I sprinkled Glamour Dust over it which makes it twinkle away in the sunshine. As always the photo doesn't do it justice when trying to show glitter but I assure you the effect is very pretty.

Today I have for you another Stampbord project - I can't leave it alone since I got the chance to use it.

I put four square pieces together, coloured the background and then stamped the Visible Image butterfly with Versamark before dabbing with Magenta OanPaśtels.

The background was made with a piece of Kraft card which I coated in Gesso. Once dry it takes the PanPastels beautifully as it has a great keyI coloured with magenta and turquoise PanPastels before embossing with the Sheena splatter embossing folder. I then sanded it back and love the effect the Gesso gives when it shows through.
